**Meet the editors**

Ning Wang, an Associate Professor in Hefei University of Technology in China, obtained her PhD degree in 2014, majored in pharmaceutics, from Shenyang Pharmaceutical University. Dr.Wang focuses her research interests on the targeted delivery of subunit vaccines and chemical drugs using lipidic nanocarriers and excels in preparing liposomes as a drug/vaccine carrier and con-

structing nanoparticle-based vaccine adjuvant-delivery systems (VADS). Dr. Wang has gained several competitive research grants on VADS funded by the National Natural Science Foundation of China and Provincial Natural Science Foundation. She has published more than 20 full research and review papers and 3 chapters of 2 books, and has been granted 2 patents.

Ting Wang, a Professor and Director of Pharmaceutics at the Anhui Medical University, obtained his PhD degree in pharmaceutics in 2007 from the Shenyang Pharmaceutical University of China. His research interests involve constructing vaccine adjuvant-delivery systems (VADS) and targeted drug delivery systems with self-assembly nanocarriers, including liposomes, phospholipid bilay-

er-coated alum nanoparticles, anhydrous reverse micelles and lipid-inorganics hybrid nanoparticles, to resolve challenging problems confronted in the fields of vaccine/drug development, including targeted delivery, insoluble drug oral absorption and mucosal vaccination. He has won several competitive research grants funded by the National Natural Science Foundation of China and Provincial Natural Science Foundation, several national and local prizes, and has been granted 5 patents, and published more than 50 full research/review papers and 6 chapters of 5 books.
